Dashboards stall in the IT queue

  • Every layout tweak goes through a ticket — and you wait days just to move a tile.
  • Standard BI tools demand data models and code before the first chart even appears.
  • Logos, copy and context end up in PowerPoint because the dashboard cannot carry them.

Drag building blocks instead of writing code

You build your dashboard by drag & drop: drag charts, tables, filters, text boxes and media onto a flexible grid, move them into place and resize them to fit. No IT, no programming.

From the first empty tab to a finished management dashboard, everything stays in the browser — what you add appears instantly, exactly as your users will see it.

  • Place charts, tables and filters freely
  • Move and resize tiles with the mouse
  • A flexible grid keeps the blocks tidy
  • Live preview — what you build is visible at once

Pick the right type, assign the question and arrange the chart freely. Save recurring chart types, filter settings and entire dashboards as favourites and reuse them in your next project with a single click.

Text boxes with rich text — and SQL

Explain, annotate and structure your dashboard with text boxes. The rich-text (WYSIWYG) editor offers formatting, lists and embedded media — and for power users the source-code view adds fine control via CSS, HTML and JS.

Best of all: you can embed SQL queries directly in a text box. That lets you show live metrics as running text — e.g. "{{= AVG(satisfaction)}} points on average" — inside the dashboard, always current to the filter selection.

  • Embed SQL queries directly in a text box
  • Source-code view for CSS, HTML and JS
  • Live metrics as running text in the dashboard

Embed logos, images and media

Upload media once to your project, then drag it into the dashboard: logos, images and icons for your brand, plus audio, video and PDF for richer stories.

DataLion handles the common formats — jpg, jpeg, png, gif and svg for images, mp3, mp4 and webm for multimedia, PDF for documents, and your own fonts (otf, woff, woff2, ttf, eot). Your dashboard becomes a showcase in your corporate design.

  • Place images, logos and icons freely
  • Embed audio, video and PDF
  • Image formats jpg, jpeg, png, gif, svg
  • Custom fonts for a CI-compliant layout

From builder to a shared report

A dashboard built in the builder is never static: your users filter live and drill down into the detail. With interactive filters and design & themes it becomes a tool anyone can operate themselves.

Who can see and edit the dashboard is governed by roles & permissions. Then you export the same content as natively editable PowerPoint, Excel or PDF — without copy-and-paste.

Common questions about the dashboard builder

Do I need coding skills to build a dashboard?
No. You assemble complete dashboards by drag & drop — charts, text boxes and media are dragged onto a grid, with no IT and no programming. A live preview shows the result instantly.
Can I add my own copy and explanations?
Yes. Text boxes with a rich-text (WYSIWYG) editor let you add formatted text, lists and media. Power users can also edit via CSS, HTML and JS through the source-code view.
Can I embed live metrics in the text?
Yes. You can embed SQL queries directly in a text box and show calculated live metrics as running text — they update to match the filter selection in the dashboard.
Which media can I load into a dashboard?
Images (jpg, jpeg, png, gif, svg), multimedia (mp3, mp4, webm), PDF documents and your own fonts (otf, woff, woff2, ttf, eot). Logos, images and icons are then placed freely in the layout.
Can I reuse a dashboard I have built?
Yes. Chart types, filter settings and entire dashboards can be saved as favourites and reused in new projects with just a few clicks.
